Afternoon Bike Lane Cleanser: Lithuanian Mayor Flattens Parking Violators With a Tank [Video]

In Vilnius, Lithuania, the Mayor has a unique way of dealing with folks who think driving a luxury vehicle gives them carte blanche to park in the city's bike lanes: Rather than dropping another paltry ticket on a too-rich-to-care Mercedes owner, Mayor Zuokas simply ran over the car with an armored personnel carrier. All before scooting off on his own bicycle. Extreme? Yes. Satisfying? Absolutely.

Of course, the crushing was staged with a junker Benz, but the disgruntled bicyclists can still dream, can't we?
